Re: Courier 0.73.1 error!!!

The last step described on that site creates both courier-unicode and
courier-unicode-devel RPM packages; so you'll find both package files in the
same directory.

After installing courier-unicode-devel, you can then proceed and build
courier-authlib; however you should get the new 20140701 version, which also
fixes a different problem. But in all cases you cannot build courier-authlib
until you install courier-unicode-devel, first.

Re: Courier 0.73.1 error!!!

I don´t understand it, when I tried install

sudo rpm -ivh courier-authlib-devel-0.60.2-1.fc8.i386.rpm

I got another errors. Still some files missing:

error: Failed dependencies:
courier-authlib = 0:0.60.2-1.fc8 is needed by
courier-authlib-devel-0.60.2-1.fc8.i386
libc.so.6 is needed by courier-authlib-devel-0.60.2-1.fc8.i386
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by
courier-authlib-devel-0.60.2-1.fc8.i386
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed by
courier-authlib-devel-0.60.2-1.fc8.i386

On the official site I found and Installed courier-unicode-1.1.tar.bz2, then
I tried to install courier-imap-4.15.20140112.tar.bz2, unsuccesfull. Then I
tried download rpm packages from howtoforge.com and after that install it,
still same result.

So please, where I can find courier-unicode-devel? I am sorry I don´t know
what I will do for now if I can´t install anything else from the website
howtoforge without courier-unicode-devel.

Re: Courier 0.73.1 error!!!

If so, then trying to install this RPM, that was build for seven year-old
Fedora Core 8 release, is not likely to produce meaningful results. "fc8"
packages are RPMs for Fedora Core 8, that was released in November of 2007.

courier-authlib-devel requires courier-authlib to be installed first. The
error message is self-explanatory, however this is a moot point. You should
not even be trying to install these Fedora Core 8 packages on CentOS 6.5 in
the first place.

Trying to download ancient packages from some web site that hasn't been
updated in years, for a completely different, prehistoric Linux distribution
that you're not using – and wrong packages to boot – as well, is not going
to produce very useful results, true.

You can't. The only thing you can install from howtoforge is whatever's on
howtoforge, for the specific Linux distribution that they built their
packages for. Apparently, it's the seven year old Fedora Core 8 release. So,
if you happened to be running the seven year old Fedora Core 8, then you
could probably download those files, and install them, with some level of
success.

But, if you're not running Fedora Core 8, downloading those files and trying
to install them is unlikely to succeed.

Still, the instructions that web site gives for building packages appears to
be more or less valid, and they should work with the current version of
source tarballs from www.courier-mta.org/download.html

You just need to download courier-unicode, build it, install the resulting
courier-unicode and courier-unicode-devel packages, then proceed to download
and build courier-authlib.
